First skim of the Global Mutirão text instantly brings back a Mandarin buzzword in my head, “坟头蹦迪”, literally dancing on a grave; dancing on the tombs of those who have already lost their lives, homes and homelands to climate impacts. unfccc.int/sites/defaul...

"The UK’s net zero 2050 framing isn’t just delaying urgent action, it normalises ecological breakdown while maintaining the illusion of responsible stewardship." Read this insightful and timely piece by @kevinclimate.bsky.social, Dr Chris Jones, Dr Gaurav Gharde. theconversation.com/the-uks-year...

The UK’s year of climate U-turns exposes a deeper failure
Breaking free of the dangerous pretence that current efforts suffice demands a fundamental rethink of the UK’s climate policy consensus.

Starmer’s actions on Palestine were unforgivable www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07... I am stunned, shocked and appalled by the continuing support Starmer is offering Israel, because that is what he really did yesterday.

Starmer’s actions on Palestine were unforgivable
If you listened to the news this morning, you would think that Keir Starmer has recognised Palestine. He has not. He has come nowhere near recognising Palestine. He is playing games with Palestine....

Pretty eye-opening for the PM’s words, apparently, a specific group of human beings’ right to live depends on whether another group feels like slowing down the killing or not. What a shame.

The CCC claims households will save £700 on annual energy bills by 2050 compared to 2025 levels as per the 'new pathway to a decarbonised UK' in CB7. But this "savings" narrative conceals a crucial reality: current price caps (£1,738) remain 47% higher than pre-crisis 2019 levels (£1,179).

Some reflections on geothermal energy after reading the latest IEA report. We are at the midpoint of the critical decade. Now rapid and large-scale transformation is the need of hour, every low carbon energy option must be on the table. Geothermal energy is one of them, but it remains overlooked.

A colleague told me about the USA’s new NDC. First read of 2025: “61-66% GHG reduction by 2035, net zero by 2050.” Why base it on 2005 levels? And they call this ambitious? Moving from 57% to 61% is ridiculous. unfccc.int/sites/defaul...

I've been following ICJ climate hearings (not an expert on law, happy to learn), but I can't believe what I'm seeing from countries that call themselves climate leaders. Their arguments in court tell a different story from their calls like "we're all in this together". enb.iisd.org/internationa...

Today, I presented at a conference, and afterwards I saw a presentation claiming “no evidence of large-scale backtracking” in climate change interventions in Canada, Germany, UK, and Australia. But in the same presentation the charts told a different story.
